Key Features of Jet A1

Wide Availability: Jet A1 is the most commonly used jet fuel outside of the United States, where its specification has been universally adopted.

High Safety Standards: With a high flash point of over 38°C, Jet A1 is less volatile and safer to handle than alternatives like Jet B, especially in warmer climates. Its freeze point of -47°C ensures reliable performance in cold conditions.

Long-Range Performance: Its formulation supports the operation of large commercial aircraft and long-haul flights, providing excellent fuel efficiency and performance stability

Environmental Considerations: Jet A1’s low sulphur content contributes to reducing environmental impact compared to other fuels. It is formulated to meet stringent emissions standards in international aviation markets.

Applications of Jet A1

Jet A1 is the fuel of choice for a wide range of aircraft, from commercial airlines to private jets and military aircraft. Its excellent performance characteristics ensure smooth operations across varying flight conditions, making it the backbone of global air travel.

Commercial Airlines: Major airlines rely on Jet A1 for its efficiency and reliability on long-haul flights

Private Jets: Jet A1’s consistency and high quality make it the preferred choice for private and corporate aviation

Military Use: While military-grade fuels such as JP-8 are common, Jet A1 is also used in military aircraft when additives for anti-icing and corrosion prevention are not required
